After I did that (I had to use a friend's older CPU to get the updates installed), it recognized my CPU and booted up no problem.

This is EXACTLY what happened to me with my Asus A7V, with a T-Bird 1000.
I had to get a duron 800 to boot it up, it did no problem. I then flashed the bios to the newest version, and was home free.
I'd be willing to bet that this would be the same problem (esp, after you saying it is an Asus MB)
